Andrew W.K. Announces First New Album in 8 Years

Andrew W.K. has announced his long-awaited new album. The record does not yet have a title or tracklist but it does have a release date: March 2, 2018 (via Sony Music). In a press release, W.K. said, “I’m going for the sound of pure, unadulterated power; every emotion, every thought, every experience, every sensation, every fear, every joy, every clarity, every confusion, every up, every down... all extruded and concentrated into one thick syrup of super life-force feeling, and then psychically amplified by the celebratory spirit of glorious partying.”

It’s been eight years since Andrew W.K. put out his 2009 albums Gundam Rock (released only in Japan) and 55 Cadillac (an album of solo piano improvisations). He’s been quite busy in the interim, launching a political party (the Party Party), going out on a motivational speaking tour, serving as the keynote speaker at a “My Little Pony” convention, releasing a pizza guitar, and much more. This week, W.K. and his band embark on their “The Party Never Dies Tour.” Find their upcoming schedule below.
